Description
The sqrt() function returns the nonnegative square root of x.
Return Value
On success, these functions return the square root of x.
If x is a NaN, a NaN is returned.
If x is +0 (-0), +0 (-0) is returned.
If x is positive infinity, positive infinity is returned.
If x is less than -0, a domain error occurs, and a NaN is returned.
Errors
See math_error(7) for information on how to determine whether an error has occurred when calling these functions.
The following errors can occur:
- Domain error: x less than -0
- errno is set to EDOM. An invalid floating-point exception (FE_INVALID) is raised.
Conforming To
C99, POSIX.1-2001. The variant returning double also conforms to SVr4, 4.3BSD, C89.
